Painter's Tape

An alternative to using painter's tape is to use a temporary clear film similar to something like Tracwrap. Not as visually conspicuous and will not leave as much residue behind like the painters tape adhesive can do.

I put the blue 3M tape on my Z while driving home from Colorado. I peeled it off and reapplied it once every 700 miles or so. After a while it gets tattered and can peel off it you don't apply it properly.

It saved my bumper from a bunch of chips and bug scratches... Just don't leave it on toooo long.
